The J-incision phacoemulsification technique offers a no-stitch cataract surgery option. This method resulted in minimal induced astigmatism and no complications in 26 cases.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Cataract surgery aims to restore vision by removing the clouded lens.
  • Phacoemulsification is a common cataract removal method.
  • Minimizing surgical-induced astigmatism and ensuring wound integrity are critical.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the J-incision phacoemulsification technique for cataract surgery.
  • To assess the induced astigmatism and safety profile of this novel approach.

Main Methods:

  • The J-incision technique, featuring a short no-stitch tunnel and a wider extension pocket, was employed.
  • Phacoemulsification was performed in 26 consecutive cases.
  • Induced astigmatism was quantified using Jaffe vector analysis and Naeser's method (polar value) at specific time points.

Main Results:

  • Mean induced astigmatism was low: 0.77 D (day 1) and 0.61 D (3 months) by Jaffe analysis.
  • Naeser's method showed minimal polar values: -0.10 D (day 1) and -0.25 D (3 months).
  • No instances of wound leakage or hyphema were reported, indicating excellent wound closure and safety.

Conclusions:

  • The J-incision phacoemulsification technique is a safe and effective method for cataract surgery.
  • This technique results in minimal surgically induced astigmatism.
  • The no-stitch approach simplifies implantation and ensures wound stability.
